Fort Lauderdale Shelter Dog Chowder Finds Hope After Months of Overlooked Stays A heartwarming story of perseverance and community support unfolds at the Humane Society Broward County animal shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Chowder, a two-year-old Chow mix, has spent the last two months moving from shelter to shelter, searching for a loving home. "He's a big teddy bear with a gentle heart," says Martica Lopez, a shelter worker featured in a recent video about Chowder. "He's just looking for someone to love." Despite his sweet demeanor and basic training, Chowder's adoption application remained unfulfilled. However, a stroke of luck arrived when J.R. Dunn Jewelers kindly sponsored Chowder's adoption fee, removing a financial barrier to his adoption. The shelter also covers the costs of his ongoing heartworm treatment. "He's almost finished with his heartworm treatment and needs a calm, loving home," adds Lopez. The video concludes with a plea for viewers to consider adopting Chowder, providing a website and contact information for the shelter. Chowder's story exemplifies the power of community support in ensuring happy endings for animals in need.
